4,105 hours per year. That’s the average amount of time an American spends with digital technology. That’s almost 45% of your year spent in front of a screen, whether that’s your phone, TV, or computer. Have you considered how all of that technology time is affecting you? This session will explore how we can reclaim a right relationship with technology by establishing healthier habits of technology use and media consumption. With Christ at the center, technology finds its proper place in our lives.
